This is a video I made using the classic Marvin Gaye song, “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)”. At the beginning of the video, I wanted to throw the viewer right into the time frame of the video flashing the notable leaders who were assassinated during the 1960s such as MLK, Malcolm X, JFK and Robert Kennedy. The rest of the video was used to try and enhance Marvin’s lyrics of poverty, racial tension, the Vietnam War and other issues of that specific time. Its ironic how some of these same issues still exist today only through different titles of propaganda. I hope you enjoy and take care.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

The image? of Malcolm X gave me shivers.. This song is as relevant today as it was 40 years ago. We need more men in this day and age. I’m not talking about the wimps we see in government and ladyboys in the current “music”.
I’m talking real men! I’m talking Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Marvin Gaye!

My God … the things black people had to go through to make it better for the next generation!! Albee07, this video goes perfectly with this song. This song will never grow old. What Marvin is saying applied then, it applies now, and I’m sure it will apply in the future. RIP? Marvin. LET US TRY TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

MLK, JFK, Malcolm X, and RFK were all? killed by the Illuminati because they wanted to spread truth, liberty and justice.
